rattling the bones

 
within my mystery I am calm
collected with confidence
I am calculated virtue it is practiced
chaste of soul with purification rituals
my spirit stays clean

I dabble in the dark but I don't let it take hold
you must look
whether you like it or not
be aware of what is

so with my black tablet
I conjure truth
entering in with a contract
a vow upon my lips
I will not stain Chastity

with a sacrifice of smoke
I begin my chant
my voice rises with the smoke
curling on the winds

it's with courage I enter the nether realm
I am seeking today nothing more
knowledge is offered
I take comfort in that

I look around
in the void a great eye peers back
I am one with the spirit
on a journey of discovery

disturbing the restless spirits
and rattling the old bones
